Relativity and Cosmology

On the Scale Factor of the Universe and Redshift.

It is proposed that there has been a longstanding misunderstanding of the relationship
between scale factor of the universe and redshift. It is shown how value of
omega(matter) of one quarter of the true value, (hence the apparent dark energy
phenomenon) can result from such a misconception. Predictions for the magnitudes
of supernovae against redshift are made and found to be in good agreement with
supernovae data, without dark energy.
